    Abstract Fishhook injuries commonly occur and may present as ophthalmic surgical emergencies. Choosing the appropriate removal technique is critical and depends on the involved extra- and intra-ocular structures and hook characteristics. We describe the case of a challenging fishhook removal where a novel surgical technique was developed. An eight-year-old boy presented with a full-thickness fishhook injury to the eyelid. During removal surgery, the thickness and density of the fishhook prevented surgical tools from transecting the shank. A novel approach was deemed necessary for safe removal, termed the clamp and retract technique. To our knowledge, this is its first documented use in the literature.

    Abstract Purpose: We describe the management of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome in monozygotic female twins with congenital cataracts, exudative retinal detachments, and 1 case of corneal descemetocele with associated dellen and subsequent perforation.
    Methods: This study was a case report and review of the literature.
    Results: Twins 1 and 2 exhibited all 7 cardinal characteristics of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, presenting with spontaneous lenticular resorption, anterior uveitis, and glaucoma. They underwent bilateral cataract extraction with near total capsulectomy. Both twins experienced recurrent glaucoma, for which twin 1 underwent successful endocyclophotocoagulation in both eyes and twin 2 in the left eye alone. The fellow eye developed 2 sites of perilimbal corneal descemetoceles with associated dellen at the inferotemporal limbal corneal junction leading to spontaneous perforation of 1 site, requiring a full-thickness corneal graft. Both twins developed recurrent bilateral exudative retinal detachments unresponsive to oral prednisolone. Twin 1's last best-corrected visual acuity with aphakic spectacles was 20/260 in the right eye and 20/130 in the left eye at age 4 years and 8 months. Twin 2's last best-corrected visual acuity was 20/130 in each eye at age 4 years and 11 months, over a year after right eye penetrating keratoplasty.
    Conclusions: We describe 2 rare cases of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome in monozygotic twins complicated by corneal perforation requiring penetrating keratoplasty in 1 eye of 1 twin. Although corneal opacities have been described in this condition, this is the first case of corneal descemetocele in Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. The cornea was stabilized with a relatively favorable visual outcome over 1 year later.

    Abstract Purpose: Poor fixation or nystagmus in children causes misalignment errors when measuring circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness by simultaneous scanning laser ophthalmoscope imaging/optical coherence tomography (SLO/OCT). We investigated a method to assess cpRNFL from misaligned SLO/OCT scans.
    Methods: Heidelberg Spectralis SLO/OCT scans from a single clinical examination were retrospectively analyzed when automated eye tracking was unreliable. Retinal layer thickness was measured at overlapping match locations between a reference and misaligned scans based on the position data from simultaneously acquired SLO images. Three layers were segmented: cpRNFL, internal limiting membrane to outer nuclear layer (ILM-ONL), and total retinal thickness (TR). Accuracy was defined as the difference in thickness between the reference and misaligned scans at their match locations after correction for scan angle.
    Results: Thirty-five subjects, evaluated for glaucomatous nerve loss, met inclusion criteria. Group-averaged accuracy was -2.7, 1.4, and 0.3 µm for cpRNFL, ILM-ONL, and TR thickness, respectively. Across all layers, interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.97 to 0.63 and the maximum Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement were -21.6 to 20.7 µm. Variability was greatest for cpRNFL thickness and least for TR thickness. Increased variability was associated with lower signal-to-noise ratio but not with image-motion indices of shear, rotation, and scale.
    Conclusions: Retinal layer thickness can be compared to a reference cpRNFL OCT scan when poor fixation and nystagmus causes misalignment errors. The analysis can be performed post hoc using multiple misaligned scans from standard SLO/OCT protocols.
    Translational relevance: Our method allows for assessment of cpRNFL in children who fail eye tracking.
